Borderlands 2 Mechromancer DLC Gets October Release Date

I've made my decision: I'll be playing as the new sniping, sword-wielding Assassin character class in Borderlands 2. Zer0 doesn't have my beloved Mordecai's pet alien falcon, Bloodwing, but his holographic decoy ability isn't a bad trade-off. Should take me about a month to defeat Handsome Jack and fully explore all Pandora has to offer, and at that point I'll be ready to try my second class: the Mechromancer. Gearbox announced today that the fifth Borderlands 2 class will be available via DLC on October 16.

Pre-order Borderlands 2 before its Tuesday launch and you're instantly a Premier Club member. Along with the snappy title, you'll get the Mechromancer DLC for free when it's ready for launch a month after Borderlands 2's release. Anyone else who wants to take the mech-summoning vault hunter for a spin will have to shell out $10.
